ALL your stories have touched me and I am so grateful that you all shared your stories with me. I have had ladies crying in my kitchen, learning what gluten free really means, I have taught families about cross contamination, I have gotten to give small gluten intolerant people biscuits! I have loved every moment.

Everything I wanted to achieve was achieved and then some, never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the amount of change we as a group was able to achieve. (It is amazing and so satisfying to know that a celiac can now buy a muffin in a cafe in the UAE!)

Gluten Free UAE will never go away, it will always be here to support you all, but it is time for me and the other admins to concentrate on other things now. As a group we are strong enough to help ourselves now and I am no longer needed.

Please do go check out my personal blog and Facebook page Gluten Free & Me where you can follow my own families journey, it is ongoing with many more diagnosis’ then Celiac. Seems my daughter is one of the chosen ones and we now need to spread awareness about other things too.

And last but not least, please join the Gluten Free UAE GROUP where hundreds of other Celiacs await you and are ready to answer your questions.
